I agree. Since the F15-0 came out, I have been working on ideas for multi-stage. I keep coming back to upscale Farside-X or T-Bird. Maybe multi engine 1st stage.
Is that true? I haven't seen any indication of that from the online vendors. I know HL stopped carrying them a while back (bummer) but it *looks* like they're still around.
Cherokee-J?
I suspect another part of the problem is that since the kits are packaged in China, it really pays to have all the parts come from China.
Yea, but I am tired of buying cheap Chinese crap only to have it fail. Sure you could think you are saving money but when you look at the longevity of that low grade crap (Any product not just plywood) So you buy something that cost $3 from china, it fails, you buy another one in six months, and again and again. Whereas if you bought a quality made in USA product for $20 and it lasts 30 years...Just Saying... Maybe if everyone would just stop thinking about the short term, buy American, sales would go up which would reduce prices, everybody wins!
Made in U.S.A. 1931... 88 Years old, still works doesn't leak!
Totally in agreement, But...It's become increasingly difficult to source U.S. made products at any price. We seem to have left most of the manufacturing/recycling of "dirty" products to other countries as though we don't all live in a closed environment. Reminds me of a book I've read on dirty bomb testing sites that were simply barbed wire fenced off and left in situ. That is until someone did a study on how much earth an earthworm can move in a day and how many of said are eaten and re-deposited elsewhere by birds...And that's only one minor example.
